    Prescott cooling, zalman?

    Water cooling isn't for me there just isn't the space for it. The price is for alot of other stuff that isn't nessesarly for CPU cooling.

    After i get my HSF i will cleanup inside, There is alot of work to be done in there. Use wire ties on my power cables, and tie them to run down the back side of the case. I like your sig. I remember straigtening out flattened P1's pins and they would still work without a heatsink at load.

    P4 3.4GHz processor @ 3.94GHz. AnyGood?

    I'm sure that the Raid 5 with 5 disks would be almost twice as fast as the raid 0 with 2. The only downside would be an unnoticable increase in latency ~2-6ms due to parity calculation by HW and higher seek time on larger disks.

    I have a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP (1.0) My Cpu (Prescott 3.0ghz) right now is running at 67-72C Loaded. I keep it loaded most of the time too. Lucky it is remaining stable, but i'm fairly certain that it is hurting preformance wise from the heat. (I hit 72C and did not change what I was doing and...
